Digital hardware design typically is done using a specialized language, called a hardware description language (HDL). This approach is based on the idea that hardware design has unique requirements.

Spade is an open-source hardware description language (HDL) developed at Linköping University, Sweden. Other HDLs you might have heard of include Verilog and VHDL. Hardware engineers use HDLs to ...

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification for ASIC and FPGA designs, has introduced a HES-DVM™ simulation ...

The virtual validation of subsystem performances (Pop-up Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Power supply Noise, Power consumption...) requires the modeling and simulation of complete subsystems.

Clearly, hardware-description language-based methodologies increasingly are a hindrance to simulation and verification. It's time for designers, as they did a decade ago, to consider moving up a level ...

The first time I came into contact with the concepts of a digital hardware description language (HDL) and digital logic simulation, I inherently understood how it all “worked.” The idea that the ...

Increasing complexities of the programmable components demand newer modeling methodologies. Architects need to evaluate various design constraints in a short time and also generate tools for the new ...

My [LR’s] first exposure to hardware emulation happened circa 1995 upon visiting a major processor firm in Austin, Texas. Its lab was jam-packed from floor to ceiling with monstrous hardware emulators ...
